Hi Andrew, Right you are about the examples used and the need to use many of them so students can see the relevance of what they are studying from a variety of perspectives. You might want to develop an evaluation procedure where you can get feedback from your students about how effective the examples were in getting your point across. Use 3x5 cards and let the student give you feedback anonymously. This way you can learn how effective the examples are without any pressure being put on the students. This method can be used in terms of assignments, tests, etc. It helps you to keep a running account of how the course is going. Gary
